Setting Constants? Is this possible?

[colton 13]

Is there a way to set constants by name in a list or table like with normal coding? Essentually...

 

UI Drop Down

Example1

Example2

Example3 

Example100

 

Variable Stored as tempVar

 

Pull list

 

Example1 = testing

Example2 = sample

Example3 = dog

Example100 = cat

 

Display value from list(tempVar)

Write them to a .txt file and load them from disk whenever you start the bot.

The file would have to consist of the name and the value. You wouldn't be able to assign a.value to a name that way would you?

You can assign anything that the .txt file would support. You can't store an image in a text file, normally... although there could be workarounds to that.

 

But to store data like Name - Value pairs as you wish, it is perfectly fit.

 

You might want to use a .csv format instead of .txt, to separate the two values of the pair on each line of text, with a comma - that way being able to load all the data at once into a UBS table...

 

Hope this helps.

I'll have to play with this one but that would probably work just fine.  Thanks.

If you have an aversion to text files, or if you find you would need numerous text files, you could use the sqlite plugin and just create a database to pull pre-defined constants from.  Within an sqlite db, you can create multiple tables instead of having multiple text files.
